Jeopardy! is moving with the times with its latest spinoff. The long-running game show is launching a special edition for YouTube. It marks the first step in a larger expansion of the Jeopardy! YouTube channel. Ken Jennings is hosting Jeopardy! YouTube Edition, which will debut on the Google-owned service March 31. The episode will see three YouTube creators – Monét X Change, Rebecca Black and Brennan Lee Mulligan – compete in the episode. It is the latest spinoff of the Sony Pictures Television-produced series. Sony Pictures Television collaborated with social-first creative agency We Are Social and YouTube on the campaign and relaunch of the YouTube channel. “Jeopardy! is one of the most successful and enduring brands in television history, with decades of cultural relevance and a loyal audience,” said Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television. “As we bring our YouTube strategy to life, we’re incredibly excited to build on that legacy while connecting with new audiences in a way that feels fresh, interactive, and native to the platform.” Kevin Allocca, Global Head of Culture and Trends for YouTube added, “Blurring the lines between a traditional broadcast format and a new era of digital consumption results in something that’s fun for both new fans and old ones. Seeing Jeopardy! intersect with YouTube creators underscores how the two can amplify each other in ways that feel surprisingly authentic and are a testament to the enduring relevance of these formats.” |

"The Floor" Lands in Japan |
|
Nippon TV announces the Japanese adaptation of THE FLOOR, the hit global quiz battle format from Talpa Studios, the content powerhouse founded by John de Mol. As the format continues its global rise, now spanning over 30 territories across Europe, the US, South America, the Middle East and Australia, Nippon TV's version marks its first step into Asia. THE FLOOR will air in prime time as a three-hour special on March 28 on Nippon TV and its network stations throughout Japan. In this high‑stakes Japanese version, all contestants are well‑known celebrities, making Japan's edition the only adaptation featuring a fully all‑celebrity cast. A total of 32 celebrity players will stand on a massive LED floor divided into 32 tiles, competing in one‑on‑one visual quiz duels to conquer territory and ultimately claim the grand prize of 10 million yen. Each duel centers on the contestants' chosen specialty categories, delivering an intense, highly visual, and play‑along‑friendly experience. The show will be hosted by award-winning actor Junichi Okada, marking his first time as a host on a quiz show. Known globally for his rising international profile following the Netflix hit drama series IXAGAMI, Okada brings a symbolic presence to guide the uncompromising "do‑or‑die" battles that define the format. Quote from Junichi Okada "As an actor I never imagined that I would have the honor of becoming the host of a global quiz show, so Nippon TV's opportunity truly surprised me, for most of my recent work on TV had been tied to my own interests—martial arts, history, and other programs related to my drama or film projects. What drew me in was the absolute seriousness of the one‑on‑one battles and the 'no second chances' atmosphere. The energy on Nippon TV's set was incredible and watching the contestants face off with such intensity—while still enjoying themselves—was immensely inspiring and I am confident that viewers will feel the same excitement." Quote from Megumi Hisamichi, Senior Manager, Programming & Platform Strategy, Nippon TV "I decided to greenlight THE FLOOR on Nippon TV because of its core strengths: a simple, universally engaging concept where players "just look at the image and answer," making it enjoyable for all ages from children to adults, and the compelling progression that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats wondering who will conquer the floor and claim victory. Across all international versions, I believe the MC emcee of THE FLOOR is more than just a host; they are the symbolic heart core that defines the entire atmosphere of the the floor. We chose Junichi Okada for this role because of his innate ability as a "Game Master"—alternating between building palpable tension across the floor and offering warm support to the challengers. We are confident he is the perfect fit to elevate the brand of the Japanese edition of THE FLOOR." Sebastian van Barneveld, Director Global Distribution at Talpa Studios: "Japan is one of Asia's most distinctive markets, with a strong heritage of original entertainment, making it a real milestone for THE FLOOR to launch here. The format's simple, visual and play-along, do-or-die gameplay travels effortlessly across cultures, and the all-celebrity Japanese version once again highlights its flexibility. We're proud to partner with Nippon TV and look forward to seeing how Japanese audiences embrace the show." |

Richard Osman has shared some light on the conclusion of his tenure as host on House of Games, as Michael Sheen prepares to take the reins. It was announced earlier this month that Osman would be leaving the popular quiz show after nine years, but that it would continue with a different face, with the BBC then confirming Sheen would make his debut as a quiz show host. Many questions around this change in host have been posed, including whether the show will be renamed, and whether Sheen's face will be all over the merchandise. Well, speaking on his podcast The Rest is Entertainment, Osman confirmed the show will be renamed Michael Sheen's House of Games, before assuring fans that there wouldn't be copious amounts of prizes left over, explaining: "We tend not to over-order with the prizes… There are very few left. "One of the things they're currently doing is producing prizes with his face on. So it will be called Michael Sheen's House of Games." Osman explained that a handover episode will be filmed, but noted that Sheen will not be a contestant on Osman's iteration. "We all want everyone to know how delighted we are Michael’s doing it. So there’s a continuation," he told co-host Marina Hyde. "I want to welcome him as well. He’s got the best team in telly there and he’ll have an absolute ball." But would Osman ever appear on Michael Sheen's House of Games? Not yet anyway... The quiz show host explained: "I think that’s too meta and you have to let someone get their feet under the table. But one day I’d love to. In a few years. Christmas week or something like that." He concluded: "I wish him such luck. I messaged him the other day and said this is such a fun show to do and such a lovely gang. It’s a great show for him and he’s a great host for it." |

Here Comes "The Neighbourhood" |
|
A first-look trailer has dropped for Graham Norton's new "giant gameshow" as the release window is confirmed – and it's soon! The Neighbourhood sees six real households from across the UK move in to "KeepYourEnemies Close" in the heart of the Peak District, and compete in a street-sized popularity contest where the last house standing will take home a life-changing £250,000. Audiences can tune in to the brand new show's action next month (April) on ITV1 and ITVX with episodes of the 11-part series expected to air weekly. The first-look trailer released today shows The Master of Ceremonies, BAFTA Award-winning host Graham Norton, walking through the game show's sets as he introduces viewers to the premise of the show. "Oh hello, I'm TV's Graham Norton," he begins while walking out of a cafe. While traversing through "KeepYourEnemies Close", he continues: "A new community, where everyone keeps an eye out for one another. "A place where you'll always have a helping hand. It's a challenge to settle in somewhere new, but it can be really rewarding. "Find yourself among like-minded individuals. Oh, and every household is competing in huge challenges to win a quarter of a million pounds! "Bring on the ding-dong." Alongside "KeepYourEnemies Close", featuring the six vibrant households, colour-coded for the competition, where the contestants live, the well-thought out, playful sets include Room with a Brew, the village’s café, and the primary hub, where neighbours plot, scheme and attempt to stay on side over a cuppa. The local village pub, The Uppin Arms, is where households can grab a pint and challenge their rivals to a friendly game of darts or pool, all while sizing up the competition. And finally, in the centre of The Neighbourhood is the village noticeboard, where the latest community news is pinned for all to see. The new show marries high-stakes competition with epic challenges and relatable domestic drama, to offer a completely fresh flavour of reality. The Neighbourhood is coming ITV1 and ITVX next month. |

Taylor Frankie Paul's turn as the star of The Bachelorette has come to a screeching halt after ABC opted to shelve the premiere. The reality dating series was supposed to feature the star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but after allegations of a domestic violence incident and a video from a 2023 incident in which she is seen physically attacking her ex, the network pulled the show. "In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family," Disney noted in a statement. Following the news that the reality series would not air as planned, Paul's suitors have taken to social media to share their reactions. - Doug Mason shared on his Instagram Stories, "In light of everything that's happened, I'm just sending out prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked. All we can do right now is be hopeful. Let's stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need." - Malik Evans also took to Instagram Stories and wrote, "I'm doing okay. Hope to share more soon. Thank you to everyone who has reached out." - Matthew Carroll reposted a video which shared the news of the momentary cancelation and added, "On pause for now. Thank you for everyone's support and thoughtful messages." - Johnnie LaRossa said, "Appreciate everyone reaching out. Grateful for the experience. I've gotta say the group of guys were truly unbelievable. Nothing but respect for them. Love you boys, and any woman would be lucky to have each and every one of them!" Clayton Johnson wrote, "I can honestly say this was one of the best groups of men I've ever been around. So much integrity, respect and heart across the board. Even the tough moments never took away from that. Any woman would be lucky to be with any of these guys." So far, ABC hasn't said whether Season 22 of The Bachelorette will ever see the light of day. Deadline reports that Disney even yanked the first episode off its press screening site around midday Thursday as the internal decision was made to pause this season's rollout. A spokesperson for Paul says in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, "Taylor is very grateful for ABC's support as she prioritizes her family's safety and security. After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm." "There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story." This follows a bad 12 months for The Bachelor franchise after it parked The Bachelorette last season and fired the franchise's two top showrunners for their part in a "toxic" workplace. This was meant to be a triumphant return for the female-led version of the stalwart series, this time featuring a famous face from another popular Disney reality franchise, Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. News broke earlier this week that filming had paused on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives due to a domestic assault investigation involving Paul and Dakota Mortensen. Both are regularly featured on the reality show, and very often their tumultuous relationship is on full display, particularly in Season 4, which filmed in the fall. A video that surfaced Thursday shows Paul, in 2023, repeatedly trying to physically attack Mortensen and throwing several metal barstools at him while a child is present, an incident that eventually led Paul to plead guilty to aggravated assault. Draper City Police Department confirmed that there is an open "domestic assault investigation" involving the pair with allegations "made in both directions." Paul also alleged wrongdoing on Mortensen's part in the 2023 case. During a press dinner Monday night, Paul was asked about the news, to which she said: "Honestly, just like, my heart hurts to see it, to go through it, especially at this time. Just the timing is hard, and it's a big deal. I feel like every premiere that I've experienced, I've never enjoyed fully, so this is another one. … It's extremely hard, and it took everything to get me here today." This is not the first time that the Bachelor franchise has been mired in scandal. In fact, it's far from it. That said, none of the previous scandals has resulted in an entire season of the show being scrapped just days before its premiere date. ABC could be out tens of millions of dollars if it can't find a way to salvage "The Bachelorette," according to sources familiar with the show (and the current predicament it finds itself in). That includes license fees to Warner Bros. Unscripted TV, marketing dollars and other loss of revenue. The last-minute pre-emption causes a host of problems — especially because it doesn't own the show, with comes from Warner Bros. TV Group. Warner Bros. distributes the show internationally to outlets like Rogers' Citytv in Canada, so it wasn't clear on Thursday if "The Bachelorette" might still wind up on TV somewhere. (While ABC had immediately scrubbed Paul and "The Bachelorette" from its website by Thursday afternoon, it still appeared on the Citytv+ website, for example.) According to insiders, Warner Bros. execs are taking a wait-and-see approach to what is happening, while staying in contact with ABC. (The studio gets paid the show's license fee regardless of whether the show ever airs.) Sources at the studio were shocked by the video, having found out about it at the same time ABC did on Thursday morning. And yet, some can't say they were surprised by the sudden turn of events. According to sources, Warner Bros. had concerns with casting Paul, given her well-known history of domestic violence — after all, it's documented at the very start of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." ABC, in crisis mode after yanking "The Bachelorette" Season 22 premiere from its schedule amid domestic violence investigations involving star Taylor Frankie Paul, moved quickly to delete as much promotional material for the show as it could from its own website. Within hours of ABC's announcement, the network had removed the Season 22 trailer (captioned "Dare we say… the most dramatic season of 'The Bachelorette' yet?"); Paul's bio and the rest of cast list; and an article plugging "The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose" special preview episode that aired on ABC after the Oscars on March 15. (For now, that episode is still available on abc.com and Hulu; it's set to expire on Monday, March 23, according to the info on Hulu.) However, as of Variety's writing, the show's trailer and dozens of other video clips and photos remained live on internet platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. On YouTube, the Bachelor Nation on ABC channel has a playlist of 33 videos, including the trailer (with more than 1.1 million views). The Bachelorette account on TikTok also still features videos promoting Season 22. On Instagram and Facebook, ABC's official accounts for "The Bachelorette" on Thursday reminded fans that Season 22 was scheduled to premiere on March 22. "Attention, Bachelor Nation: #TheBachelorette is now on Sundays! Don't miss the season premiere this Sunday on ABC. Stream on Hulu!" Those posts went live at 11 a.m. Eastern, just under five hours before ABC said it would no longer premiere "The Bachelorette" S22 on Sunday. As of Friday morning, the tune-in posts were still active, along with dozens of photos and video clips for Season 22. While we'll never see any of Taylor's bachelors receive a rose from her, there's still a chance that some of them could be chosen for Bachelor in Paradise. Apparently, ABC held an emergency virtual meeting yesterday. All 22 doomed Bachelorette contestants were invited to a Zoom meeting, where production offered up consolation prizes. THE LATEST... |

Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ: PSKY) ("Paramount") and Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) ("WBD") today announced they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Paramount will acquire WBD, forming a premier global media and entertainment company focused on expanding consumer choice and empowering creative talent worldwide. Under the terms of the agreement, Paramount will pay $31.00 per share in cash for all outstanding shares of WBD. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances and approval by WBD shareholders, with a vote expected in the early spring of 2026. In the event the transaction has not closed by September 30, 2026, WBD shareholders will receive a $0.25 per share "ticking fee" for each quarter (measured daily) until closing. The merger unlocks innovative and compelling storytelling opportunities across the combined company's best-in-class film and television studios, streaming and linear platforms. Together, Paramount and WBD will deliver greater choice for consumers through its leading streaming platforms with an exceptional intellectual property portfolio that has produced popular franchises such as Game of Thrones, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Top Gun, the DC Universe and SpongeBob SquarePants. David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, said: "From the very beginning, our pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery has been guided by a clear purpose: to honor the legacy of two iconic companies while accelerating our vision of building a next-generation media and entertainment company. By bringing together these world-class studios, our complementary streaming platforms, and the extraordinary talent behind them, we will create even greater value for audiences, partners and shareholders - and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead." David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery said: "I'm very pleased with the outcome we achieved for WBD shareholders and the entertainment industry. Our guiding principle throughout this process has been to secure a transaction that maximizes the value of our iconic assets and our century-old studio while delivering as much certainty as possible for our investors. We look forward to working with Paramount to complete this historic transaction." There are a few consolations. Netflix stock is up today — investors disliked the deal, preferring the streamer as it has mostly been, a finally tuned precision tool, no big complications. Netflix will also walk away with a cool $2.8 billion breakup fee from WBD (but funded by Paramount). And it forced a rival studio to pony up more cash in what will be the biggest leveraged buyout in history. The latest... |

Taskmaster Announces Season 21 Players |
|
Taskmaster is returning for another hilarious outing on Channel 4, with Greg Davies and Alex Horne back for a 21st season of the show. And the good news is there isn't long to go, with Taskmaster season 21 kicking off on Thursday, April 9 at 9pm. Following on from season 20, new episodes will be released in the US on YouTube immediately after they are shown in the UK, giving fans Stateside a dose of the wacky comedy. The cast for season 21 was announced earlier this year, with Silicon Valley and Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani and The Thick of It and The Day Today creator Armando Iannucci among the line-up. Featuring alongside them are Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page, Last One Laughing comedian Amy Gledhill and The Masked Singer UK presenter Joel Dommett. Horne previously shared a cryptic teaser about season 21 to Radio Times, and we may be in for something shocking... "There is a moment involving Kumail Nanjiani. I don't want to give much away, but he gives a lot away about what he does by himself in his hotel room. So that's what you've got to tune in for," he teased. "He surprised himself by what he revealed, and I was sat next to him, and it's a big moment. It's a never-before-seen Taskmaster moment." Beyond that, Horne also spoke about about a tweaked series in the "near-ish future" that would slightly change the format of the show. When asked about the future of the show, Horne told Radio Times: " People ask us about adding a Champion of Champion of Champions. "I think, instead of that, we have got something up our sleeves in the near-ish future, of doing a slightly interesting series. It's just some tweaks, but I can't say any more than that. So [we have got] something. We've got something up our sleeve." |

Mel Schilling, best known as a relationship coach on the reality show Married at First Sight, has died. She was 54. Schilling’s family confirmed her death Tuesday morning with a statement first published by the Press Association. Schilling was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023, but recently said the cancer had spread. The family’s statement said Schilling “passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love.” “This is a woman who, through two years of chemotherapy, when she could barely lift her head from the pillow, never complained and never stopped showing courage, grace, compassion, and empathy, and never missed a day of filming,” the family’s statement continued. “On behalf of our family and her incredible friendship group, thank you for the support from around the world. Life can be beautiful, and life can be incredibly cruel. But ultimately, life is fleeting, fragile, and tomorrow is promised to no one.” The statement ended by calling on fans to honor Schilling by living “life to the full, love your people well, and try not to sweat the small stuff.” Schilling was first cast on Married at First Sight in her home country, Australia. She later joined the UK version, which airs on E4. In a statement, Channel 4 said it was “privileged to be the channel that is home to Mel’s work, which was at the heart of Married at First Sight‘s phenomenal success, both in the UK and Australia.” The network’s statement continued: “We’d like to pay tribute to Mel as a person. For many who work for Channel 4, Mel was not just a colleague but a friend, someone who radiated joy, warmth, and optimism, who energized every room she walked into with humour and positivity. Everyone who knew her will miss all this about her and much more. We share in the sorrow that we’re sure many viewers will now feel at this terrible loss.” In game shows, Schilling featured on episodes of Countdown, The Weakest Link UK, and Michael McIntyre's The Wheel.

In recent years Nicky has found his passion in painting and art. Nicky loved to share his enthusiastic talent with his family, friends and fans. He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create.” The statement continued, “Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was. While it’s no secret that Nicholas had struggles in the past, he was on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis, and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing. Our family asks for privacy during this time as we grieve his loss and celebrate the life of a man who lived with intensity, imagination, and heart. Thank you to everyone who has shown love and support.” Brendon was a series regular on Buffy the Vampire Slayer opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar. The actor played Xander Harris across the show’s seven seasons on The WB and UPN.
